Welcome to our fourth issue of kidzlyfe!
At kidzlyfe we believe that learning can be both interesting
and fun. We believe that by giving children a platform to
showcase their talents and share their knowledge they can
learn from one another and perfect their skills.
Kidzlyfe accepts all articles and artwork from children of
primary school age but only the best get to be featured. We
believe that they will motivate their readers to write, draw
and/or think as best as their contributors.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all parents for their
support in the making of this magazine and encourage all
parents to allow their children to forward their work to us.
God bless you.

My father My father is very good. He drinks coca-cola. He brings toys for me. He is a big man. He has ten fingers. He has a big car. I like my father.
My dog
I love my dog. It is very good. It eats meat. It can catch a ball. It catches thieves. It is colour brown.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is responsible for receiv-
ing, processing and transmitting information
which the body needs to coordinate all it’d ac-
tivities. The body constantly receives a great
deal of varied information, called stimuli. It
can work out the difference between hot or
cold, up or down, yesterday and today.
The body receives stimuli from within
itself, ,making it react in a certain way. For ex-
ample, when running fast the body needs
more oxygen so it needs to breath more
deeply.
The nervous system
controls the body’s re-
actions and is respon-
sible for all the sensa-
tions in the body
PAGE 7 Hippireviews.weebly.com
The brain is liked the spinal cord and together they
form the central nervous system. Like a large com-
puter, this system receives, stores and processes in-
formation. All the nerves that are not part of the
brain or the spinal cord make up the peripheral
nervous system. This takes information from organs
such as the eyes and ears and passes it back to the
central nervous system. Once the information is pro-
cessed , the peripheral nervous system passes in-
structions back to the muscles an d organs, telling
them what to do.
Another part is the vegetative system. This con-
trols how the organs inside the body works such as
keeping the heart beating. These don’t need instruc-
tions.

Save precious resources!
Don’t let water run constantly when you wash
clothes & dishes. Clean water is precious!
Repair dripping taps. A dripping tap wastes up to
2000 gallons of clean water a year!
Don’t dump waste into rivers and streams. Loose
garbage chokes and poisons birds and our wild-
life.
Avoid burning garbage . It releases poisons gases
in the air!
Plant a tree! Trees help absorb excess carbon di-
oxide and provide shade and windbreaks
